Donald Trump ‘wants SPACE FORCE for World War 3’ as he prepares army to conquer atmosphere

Mr Trump explained that “space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea” as he suggested that if World War 3 breaks out it could take place outside of Earth’s atmosphere.

He declared: “We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force.

“We have the Air Force, we’ll have the Space Force.

“I said, ‘maybe we need a new force, we’ll call it the Space Force,’ and I was not really serious. Then I said, ‘what a great idea,’ maybe we’ll have to do that.

“So think of that, Space Force…because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous. You saw what happened the other day, and tremendous success.

“From the very beginning, many of our astronauts have been soldiers and air men, coast guard men and marines. And our service members will be vital to ensuring America continues to lead the way into the stars.”

Mr Trump also skewered Hillary Clinton in his speech in front of the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 232 by stating that the USA “wouldn’t be going to Mars” if she had won the presidency.

This was a reference to Mr Trump’s much discussed ambitions to dramatically improve America’s space programme.

The President went on: “We are finally going to lead again.

“Very soon we’re going to Mars. You wouldn’t be going to Mars if my opponent won. That, I can tell you. You wouldn’t even be thinking about it.”

Mr Trump also stated reiterated that “one of the worst things” he had seen was the nuclear deal with Iran as he continued a lambasting trend he has continued through his presidency.

He said: “Behind every problem is Iran.

“Well, we’re dealing with it in a very serious fashion one of the worst things I’ve seen is the Iran deal. One hundred and fifty billion dollars we gave them – for what?”

The Iran nuclear deal was an area of severe disagreement that Mr Trump had with his former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

The Republican firebrand announced Mr Tillerson’s departure through a Twitter post yesterday.

The former Secretary of State had previously declared his intentions to honour the deal in the face of Mr Trump’s consistent criticisms.

Mr Trump’s recent speech also highlighted the delicate topic of North Korea – he stated that he hoped “something positive” would come from talks with despot leader Kim Jong-un.

He said: “Hopefully something positive will come out of it Hopefully something very positive’s gonna come out of it.

“We will see.

“We’re prepared for anything. We always have to be prepared for anything, right? I really believe something positive could happen. Great for Korea, North and South, and great for the world and great for this country.”
